Choose an answer
A.20 degrees Fahrenheit
B.They fall at the same rate
C.Neither, it wouldn't sink
D.40 degrees Fahrenheit (at 20 degrees the water would be ice)
Hint: It's a 9-word phrase with 44 letters, starting with "4".
Answer
40 degrees Fahrenheit (at 20 degrees the water would be ice)
Why this is the answer
At 20°F, water would already be frozen solid ice, not liquid water for the ball to fall through.
